I asked iZotope Support and they insist that there is no MPS 5.2, only MPS 5.1 plus extra. What the heck is going on... Just purchase the upgrade to MPS 6 on JRRshop for $41.16 (with code GROUP)! You will get a MPS 6 serial that you can enter in the Product Portal of iZotope! Quote Music Production Suite 6 Upgrade from MPS 5 August This specially priced Music Production Suite Upgrade is only for customers who purchased MPS 5 in August, 2023. Please do not order if you purchased MPS 5 at an earlier time. I purchased MPS 5.2 in July, so does not appear to be eligible for this special price... ? 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fleer Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Here’s what Uncle E from JRR posted about the issue @kvr today: “ We put it up exactly as IZotope told us to put it up. There is no official word yet about what’s happening but our IZotope rep basically said it’s gone. If you had a license automatically issued after checkout, you’re fine. If there was no license issues at checkout, it means we will most likely have to refund you.” 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Derbidge Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 I'm glad I jumped on it when I did. No reason for anyone to feel bad about getting a deal. Izotope has made plenty of money on me. I paid $150 for Breaktweaker only to see it discounted 6 months later for $50. Nowadays, you can get it as low as $9. And that's just one example. I've overpaid Izotope on a few upgrades, only to find out that I could have gotten it cheaper by getting the advanced version of the product included with other products in production bundles like this for cheaper than my upgrade price. You win some, you lose some. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitekrazy Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 I wonder if Izotope is the next Magix - more upgrades but less bells and whistles. Sometimes a great product peaks and there's not much to improve upon it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes a great product peaks and there's not much to improve upon it. Maybe. The products are mature and very usable in different workflows. However, I suspect that they want to be on top of the AI game, so new modules are likely to come. And Nectar just got more fun with the background module, which will attract other people than me. The results now are only convincing if you want something left-field. But time will tell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fitzroy Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 So, for those like me, who also didn't get the Mod and Crush pack plugins at first install; I updated Native Access, reintroduced the NI effects serial from the bundle, and now they show up in NA, ready to be installed. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitekrazy Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 It seems the trend is pricing errors. Buy it for instant gratification, they remove it and expect your instant gratification will be willing to pay the higher price. This is happening way too much to be considered mistakes. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably right. There is probably a bit of psychology going on there, and I'm sure it works on some people. We always want what we are told we can't have. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's best to jump on offers that seem to be too good to be true very soon. Most of the time it's some intern casting his or her magic which doesn't last long. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubdisciple Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 I think it was an intentional bait amd switch. No way to confirm. I think someone just forgot to add the part that restricted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it's possible, but I would like to think the path of launch, including price verification process is all on one person. This took intentional wording of launch to be different from intent AND an upgrade requirements also to be different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've worked for a lot of very big companies as a consultant and was often surprised how primitive decision processes were handled in many places. Not for big bank transactions, but for pricing or advertising for example. And yes, for the IT risk management for time critical advertising of a world famous investment company, the 20 year old intern was sent to me.

And I had trouble d/l and installing GR7 because I thought my NA was up-to-date. But it wasn't. (Thanks @cclarry... again!) So I had just updated and instaed the latest verswion of NA and still couldn't get the fx pack. This morning I started NA and it updated itself.

Been there little over a year now and I am still astonished at how they go about the decision process. A lot of us at work are constantly asking "Did they really think this through?" 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
